As this gave me the opportunity once again to learn more I add what I found:Helena Tynell for Riihimäen Lasi Oy. The series called "Matin matka" (Matti's journey) seems to include also pieces called "Ahkeraliisa" (BusyLizzy), "Isoäiti" (Grandmother) and "Maaherra" (Governor)

Edit/additional thought: Correct me if I'm wrong - I have a feeling this series might be inspired by an old children's story written by Zacharias (Sakari) Topelius.
